I Wasn't Gonna Drink Today Feat. Kevin Fowler

She (Charles Aznavour)

This beautiful song which has been churning around in my head on and off for decades was composed by Philippe Sarde (with lyrics by Jean-Loup Dabadie) in 1970 along with the rest of his score for Claude Sautet's "Les choses de la vie". Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli who starred in the film also lent their voices to this song, which I believe was the first and last time the former ever did so. Some might argue that it was a wise decision :-/  

I was delighted that Anne agreed to take on the role of Romy in order to sing on my instrumental cover of "La chanson d'Hélène" whilst I filled in for Michel :-) As luck would have it she shares a similar subtle German accent and airiness in the voice, but with the added bonus of being simply incapable of singing flat :-) I think she did a brilliant job ...

I've added a link to some footage of the original live recording for the nostalgic at heart (that's my middle name) :

Lyrics : 

Ce soir nous sommes septembre 
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace 
Dans le ciel 

Je t'aimais tant Hélène 
Il faut se quitter 
Les avions partiront sans nous 
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène 

Avant dans la maison j'aimais quand nous vivions 
Comme dans un dessin d'enfant 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Je regarde le soir tomber dans les miroirs 
C'est ma vie 

C'est mieux ainsi Hélène 
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire 
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène
 
L'histoire n'est plus à suivre et j'ai fermé le livre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love

Brucia la luna n'cielu
E ju bruciu d'amuri
Focu ca si consuma
Comu lu me cori

L'anima chianci
Addulurata

Non si da paci
Ma cchi mala nuttata

Lu tempu passa
Ma non agghiorna
Non c'e mai suli
S'idda non torna

Brucia la terra mia
E abbrucia lu me cori
Cchi siti d'acqua idda
E ju siti d'amuri

Acu la cantu
La me canzuni

Si no c'e nuddu
Ca s'a affacia
A lu barcuni

Los Texmaniacs 'Cruzando Borders' now available: https://folkways.si.edu/los-texmaniacs/cruzando-borders

Tejano conjunto Los Texmaniacs was born to cross borders of all kinds—between past and present, traditional and creative, Spanish and English, country and Tejano, Texas and Mexico. Cruzando Borders embraces all of these, with ballads of the border, instrumental pearls of the past, and signature songs popularized by the Texas Tornados when Texmaniacs leader Max Baca toured with them. Guest performances by Lyle Lovett on Woody Guthrie’s “Deportee” and country singer Rick Treviño on his own “I Am a Mexican” round out this tribute to the tragedies, triumphs, hopes, and humor of Mexican American life along the border.

Hier Encore   Pierre Bachelet

Windmills of Your Mind
(Michel Legrand - Theme from the film "The Thomas Crown Affair" - Original version sung by Noel Harrison)

Round
 
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind !

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone,
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream,
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind !

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly ?
Was it something that you said ?
Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand

Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand ?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong ?

When you knew
That it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color
Of her hair !

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles
That you find
In the windmills of your mind
